Vice President Kamala Harris‘ Secret Service was reportedly caught on video covering up cameras at a private business before entering the building without permission last month.
According to a report, the agency broke into Four One Three Salon during a campaign event late last month in Massachusetts.
Alicia Powers, owner of the salon, said she would have allowed the Secret Service to use her business as a post if they had asked for permission.
“I’m the kind of person that would have set up coffee and doughnuts for them had they asked me for permission,” Powers said.
“Instead, they taped over a security camera on the back porch, broke into the salon, helped themselves to the bathroom, ate the mints on the counter and left without tidying up the bathroom or locking the back door on the way out,” she continued.
The Secret Service claims that they never would have entered the business if they were not given permission.
“When they cleaned up and they left the tape on my camera and they left my back door completely unlocked,” Powers said. “What could have happened in that hour and a half or two hours that you guys left the building unlocked?”
The salon owner had other cameras set up that informed her that people were coming in and out of her business for two hours.
“From the communication I’ve heard from the EMS workers, somebody dressed in all black was telling them to come in and use the bathroom all afternoon,” she said.
Powers said she decided to close her business for the rest of the day because the agents were doing intense bomb sweeps in the area.
